Maybe slightly less screaming from Spiderman during breakfast, but this is a family run hotel and children will be themselves. I don't have any of my own so I'm used to things being quiet. It was only for a few minutes.

The breakfast was amazing. They really spoiled me with all the choices for food and service was really nice. The staff was amazing and accommodating, very kind and pleasant. I hate to even say "staff", this hotel is more like a warm family environment, which I like. But I was able to stay in a cabin that was very peaceful and quiet and have my alone time.They also graciously did my laundry the same day and I wholeheartedly appreciated that.

The location of the lodge is a bit remote but as compensation you will find yourself surrounded by a small forest, nice flowers and beautiful birds. The cabañas are spacious and have an own small kitchen as well as a veranda where you can sit and enjoy nature. From here its easy to make tours to the nearby volcanos, e.g. Irazu.

Nothing!

Alejandro and his staff were wonderful as are the beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The breakfast is also great and you can sit and watch the Oro Pendulas.

The weather didn't cooperate during our stay but that's how it goes.

Very nice property with wonderful staff. Good communication and nice breakfast. Watching the bird feeder by the restaurant while eating breakfast was a bonus. We were staying here hoping to hike Turrialba but the weather didn't cooperate. Can't hike without a reservation and same day reservations didn't seem to be a option. Weather reporting in the area is unreliable due to the mountains.

Nothing in their control! I wish it was warmer/there was less fog so I could enjoy the view a bit more, and wish the shower water was warm but otherwise, it was great.

Very nice experience. The cabins were not difficult to find and remote enough to have privacy and some quiet. There were towels, indoor bathroom/shower, coffee facilities, and basic cooking supplies in the room which was nice. They even had a microwave and fridge. I was given the choice between a volcano or town view, and I chose the volcano. They had a small parking lot and good breakfast at whatever time you ask for - traditional Costa Rican breakfast. You can pay by card at the property. There were a few short 1km trails, a pool, and a playground available, which would be nice when it's warmer. The host was friendly and each cabin had WiFi, although some of it was a little unstable. I still had 4G data connection, which made it a very nice stay! About 40 min drive to Turrialba. I spoke Spanish with the host - unsure of her English ability.

Maybe a bug screen in front of the balcony door. (Because one can possibly lock themselve in by totally closing the door) and it feels like it’s time to renew the matrassen

Truely a gem. Beautiful forest walk on the property with butterflies squirrels and birds. Quiet environment and a sympa restaurant on the corner of the street (300m walking distance). What is not to love !

Perhaps a little tired in places.. Rather chilly at night.

Absolutely lovely staff. Chalet was spacious. Nice to have a swimming pool. Convenient for local waterfalls and monuments

The price of the food was affordable, the place was very comfortable, it had a very nice and foggy environment in the middle of the forest, and there were many things to do like the swimming pool, the trails, the pool table, etc. Also the included breakfast was marvelous.

Beds could have been a little more comfy, otherwise it was perfect.

This is a very special place. Open your door and you are greeted by a beautiful forest planted over time by the owners. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Food was delicious.

Sign at the main road so that it would be easy to find the place.

Nice, clean cabin in the wood with everything you need.

The plumbing could do with some attention - the cistern in one of the toilets was problematic and we weren't able to get any hot water for our shower. The English speaking member of staff wasn't there in the morning so wasn't able to report it in my basic Spanish! They are so helpful so I'm sure it will be quickly sorted out for the next guests.

Beautiful, peaceful location in the forest. Sadly, however, the weather wasn't kind for our one night stay and we were never able to sit on our balcony and enjoy the view as it was shrouded in mist! Disappointing as it must be spectacular and I'm sure had we done so it would have been a very different experience - it was why we booked here. The breakfast was excellent with delicious home made tortillas and the staff really friendly and kind. Not sure about the restaurant as the chef was ill and we had to go back into town for dinner. There is a well-equipped kitchen and a bbq. Property is secured at night.

host and climate

Although the owners are adorable there is progress to be made concerning certain aspects; the sheet on the bed was too small, the hot water supply was temperamental, the service for the evening meal meant that my wife and I ate one after the other and drinks were served when we had finished, the windows needed cleaning, lack of furniture in the bungalows. Basically the management lacked a bit of hospitality professionalism which is a real shame because the place and the owners are wonderful.

We liked the location and its situation amongst the trees. The hotel has a central main building surrounded by half a dozen satellite bungalows/houses. The family who run the hotel are absolutely adorable and the breakfasts were wonderful.

We were disappointed that, given the location, the Cabanas didn't have views overlooking the fantastic valley below (as do most other properties and private homes in the area. When asked, the owners told us they were going for a secluded "cabin in the woods" experience. Our cabin as a little too rudimentary for our taste. We mentioned the sagging double bed mattress and the owner said she would look into improving on that.

Cabanas is situated in a particularly nice part of Costa Rica, close enough to the Monumento Nacional, a few water falls, the Turrialba and Irazu volcanoes and the town of Turrialba itself. The area is secluded and relatively quiet. The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our cabin had good wi-fi.

the property is located in lush forest with amazing views.
